just making a comment on what ya woulda like to see. Lemme hear what ya tink
now....in my opinion...i see no need in a Cyd gray, c. Samuel, m. andrews and a. john at this stage
all a dem could get d axe in my books
nothing against them...think is time to develop new fellas...
maybe Avery could come back but the others...aint seeing it... Samuel REAL boil down since that WC ...eh know whas his scene
i see Forbes play only once ...i tink he deserve a shot though
we have REAL talent there..not sayin he hadda get a 45mins but go be good to bring along some a dem younger fellas like roberts, forbes etc
but with all that said. TT NEEDS to play more friendlies jed...even if is not a official FIFA friendly date..
i keep sayin it and will say it again. It cannot be that hard to get a game against the likes of:
Venezuela(aye they playin in a hard no ass zone and should be around our level competitively. and they always put up a fight when we play them. Literally and figuratively. lol)
Bolivia...play them in bolivia at altitude...cause ya know we gonna play side like mexico (not sure if Costa rica and guatemala and dem is do d same ting..
) goin to play us at that level
Peru . not the cream of the crop but they will provide much better opposition than side like Guyana and barbados
hadda play better sides to improve....a lil test good every now and then...
honduras, Canada, Cuba---sides who seem to be improvin more and more.
and all these sides within close proximity to us...unlike goin to europe or england to play side...
and it might be a nice experience to go England and play some club sides to get accustom to that kinda environment....but is club sides! get real...
somebody on the board.....go and apply for a wok in TTFF and see if ya get a position in the mgm't team or soemthing...cause dem decisions to keep play much lower caribbean opposition could give us a false sense of our level of play.
Even if we play a Peru and get liks...so what...play dem d next week like a home and away friendly kinda vibe
what ya tink?
